SANDRINGHAM PRIVATE GAME RESERVE
Sandringham Private Game Reserve is a 5,000-hectare wilderness in the Greater Kruger, set along the Timbavati River.
Part of the Sabi Sabi Collection, it offers two intimate safari camps, N’weti and Shisaka, as well as Sandringham House, an exclusive-use four-bedroom house. Each offers a different way to enjoy the reserve’s landscapes, wildlife and warm South African hospitality.
Once a hunting reserve, Sandringham has spent the past five years being carefully restored. On safari, guests can explore a landscape of riverbanks, woodland and open bush with expert guides, experiencing a wilderness where wildlife is gradually growing accustomed to the presence of vehicles again.
Conservation is at the heart of Sandringham’s story. By restoring habitat and helping reconnect wildlife corridors across the Greater Kruger, the Sabi Sabi Collection is creating space for nature to recover. Guests have the rare opportunity to witness that journey as it unfolds.

Conservation Success Story
Once a hunting reserve, Sandringham is being restored as a protected wildlife sanctuary. Since 2022, careful management has helped the landscape recover and given animals time to grow accustomed to a peaceful human presence. Guests can witness this continuing story of renewal across its rivers, thickets and bushveld.
Sandringham’s intimate camps and exclusive access make room for unhurried game drives. Guides bring the wider bush to life through tracks, birdlife, vegetation and animal behaviour, allowing each sighting to unfold naturally. Back at the lodge, the riverfront decks are just as inviting for watching wildlife pass by.
With four rivers, plentiful water and varied vegetation, Sandringham is a wonderful place to discover birdlife. Explore with a guide on safari, watch from a riverside deck, or settle into one of Shisaka Camp’s elevated rooftop retreats for a quieter view among the trees.
Between safaris, guests can slow down at Sandringham’s Amani wellness spa. It offers a peaceful opportunity for pampering and relaxation, with the sounds and scenery of the bush close at hand.
Sandringham shares the Sabi Sabi Collection’s commitment to creating opportunities for people living around its reserves. Through the Sabi Sabi Foundation and Ranger Academy, the Collection supports skills development and pathways into guiding, tracking, hospitality and conservation.
Dining at Sandringham follows the rhythm of a day in the bush, from generous breakfasts and leisurely lunches to elegant dinners. Guests can gather on the lodge’s river-facing dining deck, enjoy a drink at the panoramic bar or spend an evening around the open-air boma. Sandringham House also has a private chef for an exclusive stay.
